1. Information we collect and how we use it

When you join or create a Space, interact with us or your Founder through the Service, or use our mobile applications, we, as the service provider for your Founder, collect Personal Data and other information from you (collectively, “Data”). We use your Personal Data to be able to provide the Service to you:

A. Personal Data you provide directly

‘Personal Data or Personal Information’ means any information relating to you from which you can be identified, directly or indirectly, including your name, identification number, location, online identifier such as your IP address or device ID, or one or more factors specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.

‘Special Categories of Personal Data’ means data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation.

‘Aggregated Data’ is data in a summary form for statistical analysis. A common purpose of aggregation is to get more information about particular groups based on specific variables such as age, profession, or income level.

‘Pseudonymisation’ means the processing of your personal data in a way that the personal data can no longer identify you without the use of additional information, so long as the additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to prevent you from being identified or identifiable. We store and use your Personal Data together with an ID we assign each time you join a new Space. We assign you one ID per Space to ensure you have a personalized experience in each one.

Name and Email Address. When you register as a user of TopicSpace, we ask you for your real name and your email address. Both we and the Founder of the TopicSpace receive access to this information and use it to communicate with you about the Service. In addition, we and your Founder may use this address to email you about products or services believed to be of interest to you.

Other Personal Data You Provide Directly. You may also provide us Personal Data when you use certain features of the Service such as participating in conversations or polls in your Networks, contact us with inquiries, or respond to one of our surveys.

B. Personal Data and Information we collect automatically

You have the option of registering using an Integrated Service, such as Facebook. If you choose to do this, your profile picture and other Personal Data in your profile on the Integrated Service will become part of your profile on TopicSpace. Please see the section below on Integrated Services for more detail.

Like all other website and mobile app servers, ours compiles a log that records the date, time, browser (i.e., Firefox), device type (i.e., iPhone), operating system (i.e. Android). We may also collect other data about your visit, such as search requests and results. We use this information for our legitimate interests to track usage of our Service, to measure the number of unique visitors to the different sections of our Service, to understand how Members find and join Spaces, and to help us make our Service more valuable to every Founder and Member. The use of this information is called “analytics.” Often information used for analytics is aggregated. Our mobile applications on iOS (Apple) and Android (Google) have to interact with our computer servers.
